A way of making window look transparent

Question

I'm using the following method to make a window look transparent: whenever a frame is moved, it makes a screenshot of the underliying area and displays it as its background
but, unfortunately, this doen't work in this example ????
public class MyFrame extends JFrame implements ComponentListener{
private Image image;
public MyFrame(){
super();
this.addComponentListener(this);
public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentShown(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e){
try{
image = (new Robot()).createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(getX(), getY(), 200, 200));
repaint();
}catch(Exception ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); };
public void paint(Graphics g){
if(image != null){
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);

May it will not help too much, but I know that a transparent window, isn't transparent, in truth.
What this windows really is doing is a screenshot of desktop background, and printing it at window background. So, I think prefectly normal that problems as your happen somtimes.
